Dear Captain Boone: 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption 

No. 9532. It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect. 

The Basis for Oar Decision 

By letter dated May 28, 2009, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of Executive Airlines, Inc. (Executive Airlines), for an extension of Exemption 

No. 9532. That exemption from § 121.434(c)(l)(ii) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) allows Executive Airlines to substitute a qualified and authorized check aimian or 

aircrew program designee for an FAA inspector to observe a qualifying pilot in command 

(PIC) who is completing initial or upgrade training specified in § 121.424 during at least one 

flight leg that includes a takeoff and a landing. 

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons 

relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption. 

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition 

in the Federal Register because the requested extension of the exemption would not set a 

precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Executive Airlines. 

AFS-09-281-E 
Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 9532 

remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the 

authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has 

delegated to me, I grant your petition, subject to the conditions and limitations listed below. 

Conditions and Limitations 

1. An Executive Airlines check airman or aircrew program designee may conduct a PIC 

observation in place of an FAA inspector when— 

a. The Administrator preapproves that substitution for each observation of a 

qualifying PIC candidate, thus reserving first right of refusal to the FAA in 

each case. Executive Airlines, therefore, must contact an appropriate FAA 

office, in each instance, before substituting that check airman or aircrew 

program designee; 

b. The qualifying PIC candidate has completed no less than 10 hours of 

supervised operating experience (OE) and accomplished no fewer than two 

takeoffs and landings; and 

c. The qualifying PIC candidate is performing PIC duties during a complete flight 

leg, including flightdeck preparation, before starting engines checklist, taxi, 

takeoff, all other flight phases, landing, taxi, and securing checklist. 

2. Each Executive Airlines check airman or mrcrew program designee conducting a PIC 

observation in place of an FAA inspector must— 

a. Be approved by the Administrator to conduct the observation; 

b. Have served as a check airman or aircrew program designee for Executive 

Airlines for no less than 6 months; and 

c. Not supervise the OE or conduct the initial line check for the qualifying PIC 

candidate being observed. 
3. Executive Airlines must maintain student, check airman, and aircrew program 

designee records that demonstrate compliance vrith the conditions and limitations of 

this exemption. 

The Effect of Our Decision 

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 9532 to October 31, 2011, unless 

sooner superseded or rescinded. 

Sincerely, 

C.,^^^ 

John W. McGraw
